Close to the main train station. We had a comfortable stay for the 5 days we stayed in Brussels. The bed was super comfortable. Clean room and clean bathroom with daily housekeeping. Reception staff friendly and helpful. Area around hotel was an unfortunate letdown. Noisy.

Otherwise acceptable for price.

This hotel is very convenient for the Midi station, which is why we chose it. Outside there are major building and road works, which is not their fault. The hotel itself is basic but functional and the staff were very helpful. It was rather expensive for what it is compared to what we paid elsewhere.

Budget Hotel
The hotel is in the basic budget range. It is clean and convenient for the train station. The actual area is run down.

Not the one to stay if you’re with family
The place is congested and not suitable for family. The beds were 1.5 ft width and you can hardly sleep on it.

Good hotel, a lot of road work in front of the hotel. In the room you couldn’t hear it. Good room overall.

The hotel is really nice. The way we had been in Brussels was very warm and the only thing we had was a ventilator (and I wasn’t enough). No frigobar as well to keep one water cold

Hotel close to the train station
Nothing special, as I needed to crash close to the train station. Could smell cigarette smog everywhere. It was sometimes very noisy. Impersonal hotel. I would try a different hotel close by next time.

Good value for money.
It was ok.
But the other guest upstairs made so much noise till 3am. Hence difficult to sleep at night.

Hotel looked in dire need of refurbishment. Bathroom was awful. The area it was located in seemed very dodgy. Would not recommend staying here at all unfortunately although the man at the front desk did let me check-in early which was nice of him.

The window led onto an exterior fire escape, but the window frame had been broken in before, so the window hung on 1 of its 3 hinges and could he easily opened from outside again. It felt very unsafe, but it was 1am when I got there so I stayed the night.
When i woke up one of the largest spiders I have ever seen was on the roof above the bed.
The whole building also smelled unclean and had stale air. It is in a state of disrepair.
I would never consider staying here again, even for half the price. It may already be the cheapest option, but picking anything else will be worth it.

Overall okay. Cannot say good or something, especially compared to the price. And wifi really sucks, and lift is so small.
